#FIT21 fails to protect consumers and misses a critical opportunity to address the rampant use of crypto for money laundering by bad actors. I can’t support a bill that puts our investors and our security at risk. I’m voting no.

Representative Bill Foster voted against advancing H.R. 4763, the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act, out of the House Financial Services Committee. The recorded vote showed 35 ayes to 15 nays.

H.R. 4763, the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act is a comprehensive market structure bill that would protect consumers, ensure crypto companies have robust rules, and create clarity for job creators and blockchain builders.
